Is Factory Metal Percussion a cymbal manufacturer?
No, Factory Metal instruments are not cymbals. Many drummers and retail stores are accidentally calling Factory Metal “effect cymbals”, but the reality is that cymbals are fabricated with a variety of bronze alloys that are lathed, spun, tempered and hammered. FMP Products are fabricated from industrial grade metals such as aluminum, iron, steel and stainless steel. Unlike cymbals which are generally poured into castings, FMP Products are cut by laser, die stamped, or CNC machined, depending on sound application. Factory Metal and cymbals are both metal, but that is about all they really have in common.
